those chariots, racing your run, autographing flooded slums.
|
those chariots, they never sleep, chased you down a lilac's lung.
|
rat rider!
|
rat rider!
|
rat tails just sprout from your scalp.
|
those chariots, they're closing in, made your wife from diesel fumes.
|
those chariots with megaphones threw a bachelor party for you.
|
rat rider!
|
rat rider!
|
soaked fur just dyes our dirty talk.
|
every fang is polished gag-colored green like a sun so sick it only shines when it sinks.
|
your mother's tethered to the tv set.
|
your father's doing push-ups in the driveway again.
|
we want a coupon for a discount dream.
|
we want a forest just like a museum where the leaves are priceless antiques,
|
memorabilia from a century kidnapped by grief.
|
rat rider!
|
c'mon, rat rider!
|
those chariots stamp their ID on disappointment's sobbing chords.
|
those chariots trampled new filth on fantasies you can't afford.
|
rat rider!
|
rat rider!
|
cold claws just ransacked your pockets.
